Says Legislative Fiat Is Not Sufficient to Check Law- lessness. By the Associated Press. LOUISVILLE, Ky., October 13.—The | American Prison Association conference | ! here today had before it a suggestion | | from George W. Wickersham, chairman | of President Hoover's. Law Enforcement Commission that “a careful inqury into | the results of flogging as a punishiment | may well be made to determine the de- sirability of employing it in the war against banditry and racketeers.” “Flogging by birch or by ‘the cat'”| was discussed by Mr. Wickersham in an address’ which he had written, but | which was read to the conference in| his absence, by E. R. Cass, New York, general chairman of the association. | Mr. Wickersham saw a state of actual | warfare in the United States between | organized society and “rebels against its | authority.” Modern crime, he said, was | conducted By “fearless men,” whose | spectacular methods were superior to | the defense of the police forces. “We pride ourselves upon the. syc- cesses of democracy,” Mr. Wickersham said, “vet crime is rampant and every daily newspaper spreads before us tales | of increasing lawlessness.” “Very slowly we are coming to re- | alize," he added, “that something more | make good citizens; that all the threa ened punishments legislative imagina- tion can devise will not compel r¢ bellious human natures to abide by rules of conduct that run counter to their wishes, their tastes, their needs, — = FOR GANGSTERS GEORGE W. WICKERSHAM. or their prejudices, something more is necessary.” Quoting an old Greek saying that “it_is ‘more jmportant to form good habits than to frame good laws,” Mr. Wickersham, said prevention through education of the young and enlightened treatment of the yourg is the best remedy against crime. “Everywhere throughout the land there are degp stirrings of dissatisfac- tion with existing conditions,” he said, “with the laws and their administra- tion, and with prescribed methods of dealing with those found to have violated them.” “There is no doubt that the great volume and constantly widening cate- gories of legislative prohibitions, with attendant penalties for their disregar: tends to create a contempt for law, Wickersham said. “Yet much of this legislation is probably unescapable.” He suggested that it “were. well that public sentiment should be aroused to Pprevent unnecessary law making.” APPROVE TEEN | HOSRTALS.HERE American College of Sur- geons Announces Favored Infirmaries.

This evangelical and missionary body had its origin about 1809, when a group of people in Pennsylvania, dissatisfied | with the divided state of the Christian world, issued a “Declaration and Ad- dress” calling for & union of all Chris- tions on a simple new Testament basis. Similar movements started elsewhere in | this ecountry, . notably in Kentucky. | About 1830 they were forced into a| position where they had to act as a separate group from the older denom- inations. Today they number close to 2,000, 000. The Christian church has ex- tended until now there is scarcely a clivilized country in the world that does not number members of this faith, { | | h, M. g | spiritual power and influence and it accomplishes a vast deal of good in applying the principles of Christianity to the everyday problems of life. The booth of the Christian Men Builders in the Washington Auditorium during the convention will be decorated with the pictures of members of the class and will be supplicd with litera- ture describing the organization The pin_which will be presented to President Hoover, as a token of the great esteem in Which he is held by members of the Christian faith, will be inscribed, “C.

Boole, national president of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, if the two major parties call for repeal of the eighteenth amendment. She predicted that if former Am- bassador Dwight W. Morrow is elected Republican Senator from New Jersey he will be the Republican presi- dential nominee in 1932 and that he will insist on a repeal plank in the national platform. She said she did not believe the eighteenth amendment | would ever be repealed. “None of us realized,” she told the State W. C. T.

Marked improvement in drought con- ditions was reported today by Dr. C. W. Warburton, secretary of the FPederal Drought Relief Committee In a review of drought developments during the past week, Dr. Warburton sald most of the corn crop was safe from frost damage and that in the area from the Rocky Mountains to the Ap- palachians rains have improved pas- tures and seeded grains. “The rainfall has not been sufficient however,” he added. “to restore the low water supply, which constitutes & seri ous problem in this area.” Water Shortage Problem. “The Midgle: Atiantic States” he continued, “are still unrelieved by rain.

In Virginia several hundred head of sieep ahd cattle were moved out of short-feed arear into States to the South. Other States have reported “materia} progress in meeting the need of credit by farmers.” “In general,” the statement added, *local banks are finding it possible to finance all credit required when bor- rowers can furnish sound security. Im sections where local banks require ad- ditional funds for this purpose the in- termediate credit banks are ready to supply supplementary funds. Some Farmers Need Aid. “There seenis to be ample credit for the farmer who can furnish good se- curity. It is evident, however, that farmers who cannot furnish coliateral will have to receive funds to care for their families, to feed their live stock and to provide supplies for planting the Spring crops.” Dr. Warburton expressed the opinion that the American Red Cross program of distributing seeds for gardens to ma- ture this Fall and for rye pasturage for live stock this Winter “has now reached the stage where it Is apparent that it will produce valuable results.” Much seed for pastures and for gar~ dens has been planted, especially in Arkansas and Kentucky. More is being distributed in Oklahoma, Mississippi and Louisiana.

It lies adjacent to the famous Brandenburg gate. Police Use Clubs. Mounted police galloped among the trees, swinging their clubs, and driving back the crowds again and again. ‘While this was going on Communists formed a demonstration at another point among -the shrubbery, but con- tented themselves with the singing ef revolutionary songs. ‘ The police did not use firearms, con- fining their activities to the vigorous use of their batons. The police finally succeeded in dispersing the disturbers in_the Tiergarten. Meanwhile the Fascists. took ad- vantage of the concentration of the police around the Reichstag to execute raids in unrmkcted business streets. Troops of them stormed through the shopping districts, : smashing , windows of Jewish shops and department stores, shouting as they went, “Germany awake” and “Hail Hitler.” (] Among the stores whose Windows were smashed were the Wertheim, Tietz and Gruenfeld establishments. At 10 minutes to 3 bells started ring- ing and the Reichstag members began filing into the chamber. The diplomatic and other galleries were crowded as never before in the history of the Re- publican Parliament. All went direct to their seats exeept- ing the Fascists, who remained in the corridor until 3 o'clock, when they formed in a body and marched through the door, occupying the, en- tire extreme right of the House, here- tofore reserved to the Nationalists. Derisive laughter from other parts of the House greeted their appearance. Riot Equipment on Hand. Hundreds of police with riot equip- ment supplementing their usual-pistols and clubs had formed a heavy guard around the Riechstag Building hours before the opening of the session. The House of Parliament appearsd more like a beleaguered castle than the people’s legislative hall,- with many thousands of persons swarming about its approaches, bearing placards and banners on some of which were the in- scription “The German Peoples.” ‘There was every indication that the a?\'emment. had taken all possible steps prevent physical violénce when fhe new Reichstag, with its radieally changed alignment of parties, began its :llxsr session since the September elec~ ion.
